[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike20X6: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [qb]So therefore the term dreadnought used in the old TOS technical manual is incorrect. The Federation class is a battleship, there has to be a smaller battleship than the Federation class to make her a Dreadnought. The Niagara class is not a Dreadnought, but she can be considered a battleship if she was built as a battleship. So if the Niagara class is a battleship than the Galaxy class can be considered a Dreadnought and the Sovereign class, a Super Dreadnought. But this is using old World War terms. Nowadays there are no battleships, no heavy cruisers, just cruisers, destroyers, frigates and carriers. [/qb][/QUOTE]false assumption: Trek goes by current naval terms. since we know that there are heavy cruisers in trek (the Connie was never a HC in dialogue, but the Ambassador was, and the Connie has computer readouts indicating its a class i heavy cruiser) it seems to follow that Trek does not follow the current naval definition which may have phased out heavy cruiser as a classification. we also know that Trek breaks from US parlance in that, in TOS (and ENT), they use the rank commodore. obviously we cannot require the Trek universe to conform to modern military terms and definitions, its more of a mixture of historical qualifications.
